Taylir Skinn Jesse and his team at North Fifth are top notch! Recently had a HUGE job done on my dodge and Jesse was nothing short of professional. He got the job done well & in a timely manner. Wont be taking our cars elsewhere, or recommending anyone else from here on out. Thanks again guys!

Jim Spevak Nate is great. We have been having our vehicles serviced by EDS for years. Fair and honest!

David Smith Needed to plug a screw hole in my tire. They were booked up that day but said bring the car and they’d work it in between other cars. I walked to get a coffee in town, stopped at one store and they were already done. They even looked up the proper lug nut torque specs from Porsche and set the right tire pressure for my summer performance tires, something my dealer doesn’t always set properly! Professional, diligent and detail oriented. Highly recommended.

Mark Swistek I was referred to Triple C from another shop. Boy am I glad theres a German specialty automotive shop and Motorsport shop. I drive a 2020 BMW 330i xDrive Sport Line. Recently I had some upgrades done. I got a Dinan cold air intake, Dinan performance ignition coils, Dinan turbo inlet, CTS charge pipe, Berger Motorsports strut bars, and E-Line drilled in slotted rotors and new magmaflo brakes. Chris was the gentleman that I was dealing with mostly. He is the owner of the shop. Not only did I receive great customer service, he fit me in because of a time-sensitive upgrade. Im going on vacation. Chris and his employee gave great customer service and treated you as if youre part of a family. What I truly love as well is the fact that everything you do to your car in the shop gets reported to Carfax. You have full access to your Carfax report for the life of your car. Thats pretty amazing considering the cost! I am definitely going to recommend Triple C to all my friends and family with German cars. I look forward to coming back. The shop is usually very busy so I would recommend making an appointment. Good work Chris and team! I always walk out with a smile on. Edit: I got my axle-back exhaust installed yesterday and they did a beautiful job. Now my car sounds like it should have sounded coming from the dealer. As always, they do excellent work!

aramire2 Josh, Andy and all the people working at Mike’s Auto are great! They were able to get our car going and ready to ride. The car was in a Garage for 6 years. Mike’s auto group diagnosed several issues and took care of everything for us. They were honest, gave us an accurate quote and had great communication throughout. We will be bringing our other car in for service! Thank you so much!

brett bettag I can’t say enough good things about Minor and his team at Excel Automotive Repair in St. Charles. I’ve worked with them multiple times across several vehicles, and every experience has been nothing short of excellent. Minor is a truly honest, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted man—someone you can trust completely. His ability to diagnose issues quickly and accurately is impressive, and he always offers fair, affordable solutions without any pressure or unnecessary upsells. The quality of work is top-notch, and the turnaround time is always fast. Beyond that, Minor’s integrity and genuine care for his customers make him stand out in the industry. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled mechanic who treats you like family, Excel Automotive Repair is the place to go. I highly recommend them!

Patricia Loomis We have used Action Auto for years and they have always been professional and honest. They get the job done quickly and right the first time. I highly recommend this shop for any work you need done on your vehicle. Patti Loomis

Alberto Mijarez David, Victor, Juan and Angel were great to work with! They went above and beyond to ensure my wife’s SUV was repaired properly and in a timely manner. They were flexible with our scheduled and provided quality work at a very reasonable price, compared to the dealership. Highly recommend them and David’s going to be working on our friend’s & sister’s vehicle given the great experience we had with them!

Mup Absolutely 5 stars! I had an amazing experience at this automotive shop. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and truly focused on helping me, not just making a sale. They took the time to explain what my car needed and why, without trying to upsell or push unnecessary repairs. The pricing was more than fair, and it was clear they value honesty and integrity. The quality of work was top-notch, and my car runs better than ever. It’s rare to find a shop this trustworthy—I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to everyone I know!

tom whalen My sons vehicle (128K miles) began running very roughly and we took it to VVR for an evaluation. They were able to look at it quickly and diagnosed a severe internal engine problem. It was agreed that the solution was not worth the value of the car. I wanted the car towed to my home and they were kind enough to help facilitate that. I was only charged for their evaluation and diagnosis and I did not find that excessive. In my numerous conversations with Mike, Lauren and Jen they were very patient and accomodating. I was very impressed by their knowledge, professionalism, and honesty and would not hesitate to patronize them again. They will be my "go to" for any vehicle maintainence.
